Drawings/Paintings

Nancy Sullivan Watercolors

Using an 8×10 Decorate It 2-inch frame she recreated one of her original watercolors “The Lovely Couple” and brought it to life by extending the tree branch off the page onto the frame and mat.

Zoopsiart

Using an 8×10 Decorate It 2-inch frame Patricia Bingham from Zoopsiart started with the hand-colored photo and drew inspiration for the colors and design. Since the frame was going to be “busy” I wanted a simple picture. Bingham works with many different media from Photography to painting to collage. Her style of art is reminiscent of picture book illustrations but tilted. The majority of her artwork features animals. So much so it was the inspiration behind the name of her business. Zoopsia means visions of animals!

Pencilmark Studio

Lynn Stephenson from Pencilmark Studio has been an artist all her life. This year she decided to use her artistic abilities as a career and registered her studio as a business. The small-framed piece in our Decorate It Frame is created with colored pencil. She continued her artwork off-page and onto the frame. Join her as she develops her business into the success we know it will be.

Multimedia

Mountain Ridge Creations

Using an 8×10 Decorate It 2-inch frame Ann Heap, Owner and artist from Mountain Ridge Creations merged fabric craft with photography and started to create quilted landscapes. She takes inspiration from her original photographs but ultimately the end results are merged from multiple photographs and her own imagination. The featured creation is roughly based on a sunset photo from Shenandoah National Park. She used several coats of Danish Oil on our frame to bring out it’s nautral wood grain.

Penny Feder Art

Penny Feder has a master’s in printmaking. She enjoys woodcuts, etchings, and monotypes. For years she utilized mixed media collage on canvas. She took that technique and added it to our Decorate It 2-inch frame.  In addition to creating fine art, Penny Feder has not one but TWO businesses. The first being: Pjs Little People and her brand new one Little Art Prints


Elizabeth Ann McNally

Elizabeth Ann McNally is an artist and printmaker. She created this relief printmaking piece called “Backyard Treasure”. Using our Decorate It frame she printed the artwork on cotton paper and with color elements from Kozo paper including hand marbled paper delicately cut and reapplied. This method makes every piece she makes unique. Her choice of artistic content is narrative and nonrepresentational. Her narrative work expresses the humor and frivolity of everyday life through the foil of animals and their nature. In her nonrepresentational work, she lets color, line, pattern, and the properties of the material and medium are the focus of the composition.

Yumedarling

Yumedarling (aka Alice) has created digital paintings for over 10 years and enjoys adding a handmade touch to her pieces. She creates luscious illustrations in the form of prints, acrylic keychains and stands, and even hand-drawn custom keychains. Her unique and high-quality items are often purchased as gifts. Almost nothing makes Alice happier than a customer enjoying her artwork!
